Federal prosecutors and lawyers for the Cambridge teen accused to lying to authorities investigating the Boston bombing case have seemingly agreed on conditions that would allow the 19-year-old to be released from jail.

In the motion, both sides said they had met "extensively" and came up with conditions to allow for the teen to be freed from jail. Those conditions include a secured bond of $100,000, house arrest at a custodian's home, and being fitted with an ankle bracelet.

As of noon, the hearing was still scheduled for Monday afternoon. A judge had not yet ruled on the joint motion.
